Hi, I am not in Saudi yet, but I am scheduled to arrive sometime in February. This will be my first time. I would like my daughter to join me for her summer break from school. Are there any barriers that I should be aware of? As a female, how should I prepare her for this? She'll be 21 soon. How soon should I start the process for her travel? Any advice will be welcome. Thanks.

Hey, Happy new year.
there are some barriers like the outfit and how its not allowed to practice Christianity out in the open.
If I may , I would recommend Jeddah city as your first visit, its the most open minded city in Saudi.
